This pilot study will evaluate safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by SBRT. Patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and borderline pancreatic inoperable cancer will be assigned to one of two treatment arms based upon performance status and physician's discretion. The two treatment arms are: Folfirinox or gemcitabine-nab paclitaxel (abraxane). There are no study drugs as all treatments are based on standard clinical pathways. After two cycles of treatment patients will be restaged with CT scans or imaging. If the tumor remains resectable, borderline, or unresectable without progression of disease, then the patient will proceed to SBRT. Follow-up visits will continue every three months for up to one year or until progression of disease.
